5 More Sleeps ‘Till Halloween – It’s that time of year when your trick or treater can’t wait to hit the streets in search of candy. From the houses with the best decorations to the neighbor who gives out the best candy, your little ones will be excited to trick or treat with their family and friends. Whether it is scary or fun, New York Times Best Selling Author Jimmy Fallon wants to count down the days before Halloween with your little one.
What’s It About
Do you remember as a child the ANTICIPATION before Halloween? You start to imagine the costumes, the candy and the spookiness of the season. For some of us, you cannot contain your excitement, while for others, you were a little spooked, perhaps a bit of both! Author Jimmy Fallon creates a fun and interactive countdown with your little readers. From your littles to your bigger kids, this book is a keepsake to read year after year as you count down the final five days before Halloween.
The count down is fun but Jimmy writes in a special way to engage your children of all ages. Your older children can read the book and even your tiniest tot can shout out “BOO!” After every day has passed. This book is friendly to both advanced readers and reluctant readers alike. The illustrations and words make each page POP so you can really be brought into the Halloween spirit.
Just like the 5 More Sleeps ‘Til Christmas, your children can get excited for the final days before a big holiday. Parents will be taken back to the times to when they were playing the special waiting game, anticipating the 31st of October to arrive.
For parents and children alike, this book can become an annual tradition in your house, where a spooky countdown begins for one of the most fun times of the year!
